View Source Wallaby.Element (wallaby v0.30.6)

Defines an Element Struct and interactions with Elements.

Typically these functions are used in conjunction with a find:

page
|> find(Query.css(".some-element"), fn(element) -> Element.click(element) end)

These functions can be used to create new actions specific to your application:

def create_todo(todo_field, todo_text) do
  todo_field
  |> Element.click()
  |> Element.fill_in(with: todo_text)
  |> Element.send_keys([:enter])
end

retrying

Retrying

Unlike Browser the actions in Element do not retry if the element becomes stale. Instead an exception will be raised.

This only really makes sense for options, checkboxes, and radio buttons. Everything else will simply return false because they have no notion of "selected".
